[@sam21771]

Hello Somjit! I LOVE som tam, but here in south africa it is not easy to get green papaya! I use carrots and green apples - just had some for lunch today, SO good! are there any other ideas?

[@HomeCookingwithSomjit]

Hi Samantha Vietri. Wow! so glad to hear that you made your own somtam and really enjoy it. Yes, you are right, usually the Thai people who live abroad uses carrot to substitute the green papaya. The mixed fruits like pineapple, green mango, carrots, grapes, corns, raw guava also good for somtam. Here are the somtam recipes that I made from different type of vegetables beside the green papaya. Enjoy! 😀😀 Cucumber kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqjaY4ZtrreLm7s Corn kzbin.info/www/bejne/hXe6k2OddrF5ask Long beans kzbin.info/www/bejne/eomUqI1sibB8gqs kzbin.info/www/bejne/fp23iWawbtN5ipI

​@@sam21771Green papaya is just unripe normal papaya. When it is not ripe the inside is green, when it is ripe it becomes orange.

Why do you always torture me?! 🤤😭😫

[@HomeCookingwithSomjit]

Hi Lily M. Oh dear I am so sorry🙏🙏🙏 but these are really good especially, the one without peanuts. I love it so much that I could eat everyday 😀😊

[@LiLyM.]

@@HomeCookingwithSomjit I’d eat any kind of som tam. 🤤🥰 Especially with peanuts!

[@HomeCookingwithSomjit]

@Lily M, yes the sometam with peanut is slightly sweeter and it is not so strong pungent smell and test of the pla-ra 🤤🥰 all are nice. Nowadays people in Thailand are more creative with somtam as they put all kinds of vegetables, noodles, or seafood, raw or cooked. So good!
